Lot 391
1825 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Choice glossy steel brown and chocolate with frosty light steel brown in protected areas. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The best identifying marks are a small splash of reddish brown toning under the first T in STATES and another at F-A. MDS. There is scattered very fine rust in the fields (shows as tiny lumps on the coin), strongest off the tip of the nose and around ES-OF, but the fine die crack from the brow to the dentils over star 3 has not formed. Called AU55 net AU50 in the Noyes census, his photo #34763. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 4 finer, 2 in 64, 2 in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
